Gov. Paul LePage
By Michael Shepherd
State House Bureau
AUGUSTA – The state's wholesale liquor distributor offered the state a guaranteed $320 million to extend its contract without a bid process, but Gov. Paul LePage quickly rejected the deal, saying the contract is worth more than the offer.
In a letter released Wednesday evening, LePage declined the offer from Maine Beverage Co. within hours of its pitch to the governor's office and legislators. The governor said he hopes the company will still put in a competitive bid for the contract.
D. Dean Williams, Maine Beverage's president and CEO, declined to comment on LePage's rejection, saying he hadn't seen the letter by early Wednesday evening.
The company, owned by Massachusetts-based Martignetti Cos. and the New York private equity firm Lindsay Goldberg & Bessemer, guaranteed the state $320 million over 10 years, plus more in revenue sharing, if it's allowed to keep the state's contract after the current one expires in mid-2014.
Under the contract awarded in 2004, Maine Beverage took charge of warehousing and distribution of liquor in exchange for a $125 million up-front payment and profit sharing.
In documents presented to the Legislature's Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee earlier this week, Gerry Reid, director of the Maine Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations, said if the current contract was disbursed over time, it would see about $12.5 million per year in operating income, along with $8 million in revenue sharing.
In the next contract, the administration hopes for more than $36 million per year and $8 million in revenue sharing.
A letter from Maine Beverage to the executive branch and legislators cited the company's record of success and the promise of money to meet the LePage administration's borrowing plans.
The company pitched its proposal as a potential alternative to issuing a bond to pay the state's $186 million share of hospital debt. LePage has proposed paying the bond back with money that would be realized in the renegotiated liquor contract.
But Maine Beverage said its deal could allow the state to choose how to receive the money, either as an annual revenue stream to amortize debt or as an up-front payment.
Terry Brann, the state controller, recently told the Press Herald that interest rates would range from 5 percent to 6 percent annually on a 10- or 20-year bond. The state's $186 million in payments to hospitals would be matched by $298 million in federal funds.
On Wednesday afternoon before LePage's letter went out, Williams said the company would be willing to disburse the $320 million over the life of the contract or make a front-loaded payment.
"We are not purporting for one second to tell the state how to do it," Williams said. "We're saying that there are many options available and we are sincerely interested in discussing any of those they may have an interest in."
In its letter, Maine Beverage said it would pay the state an average of $32 million annually, plus $4 million to $6 million per year in revenue sharing to "financially reward agency liquor stores and bolster efforts to diminish cross-border sales," a reference to cheaper alcohol prices in New Hampshire.
But in LePage's letter, the governor said the administration firmly believes "there is more value for the state in the wholesale liquor operation" than the proposal outlines.
In a statement issued around the same time as LePage's letter, Ford Reiche, owner of Dirigo Spirit, which also plans to bid on the contract, said Maine Beverage "should not be reluctant to submit (their bid) in an open and competitive bidding process."
Pending legislative approval, the state will seek bids in April or May for the liquor contract, which will be structured without an up-front fee. The state has said it will seek a greater portion of the revenue than it receives now, and will not guarantee a minimum profit margin for the contractor.
Maine Beverage's proposal initially appeared to throw a wrench in the LePage administration's plans for putting the liquor contract out for bid. It came close -- but not close enough -- to the dollar value the governor's team has said it wants.
The LePage administration said earlier this month that the state has made $185 million on liquor sales in the past decade. In 2009, the
financial firm Deloitte & Touche pegged the fair market value of the contract at $378 million.
The last liquor deal has been roundly criticized for taking $125 million in up-front revenue to fill a budget hole that Gov. John Baldacci was facing in 2004. Maine Beverage now gets a guaranteed gross profit of 36.8 percent of annual sales.
On Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Michael Thibodeau, R-Winterport, described that deal as a "fire sale," and Sen. John Patrick, D-Rumford, a member of the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee, said he was "hollering and screaming" when the state made the deal.
Thibodeau said that although Maine Beverage made a "serious proposal," the state should continue with a bid process in order to get the best deal.
"I know there are other companies that have expressed an interest in the contract," Thibodeau said. "I think it's important that we have an open and competitive bid process."
Patrick said Maine Beverage has done a good job of managing the state's liquor business, and although he wouldn't have trouble backing Maine Beverage's proposal as written, pending more details, he still wanted the new contract to go out to bid.
After LePage rejected the offer, Patrick said he wasn't surprised.
"I think he may have his mind made up," Patrick said. "I hope he utilizes what was in the letter in the (request for proposal) to encompass what's best for the people of Maine."

It sounds like you have a suction leak. You could also have some crud in the jet.
My water pump went out a week ago, and I had an old one out in the barn, so I hooked it up. After I hooked up the pump, I noticed that my pressure tank was leaking, so I bought a new pressure tank. When I first hooked everything back up, I had great water pressure, everything was running smooth, for about 30 minutes anyway. After I took a shower, I noticed I barely had any water coming out of my faucet and the pump was running non-stop. I shook the pipe down in the well, and it built back up prime and shut off. Now, I can get the pump to prime, and to hold prime as long as I do not turn on any water. When I turn on the water,it comes out good until the water level in the pump goes down, then the water just trickles out. The pump will not shut back off unless I turn off the water and shake the pipe that goes down into the well. The plate on my well says the well is 40 feet. I measured the water level in the well, it is 12 feet deep, and my foot valve is 5 feet off of the bottom, and down about 7 feet past the top of the water. Any ideas here? I havent had water in a week, and I, nor anyone I have talked to has any idea what could be going on.
It sounds like you have a suction leak. You could also have some crud in the jet.
I took the pump housing off and cleaned the propeller and inside the housing. When I put it back together, I made sure all of my fittings and clamps were tight. It worked good untill I took a shower, now, I am having the same problem. I put a pressure gauge on the pump, and when it primes up and the pump shuts off, it holds steady at 20 lbs, once I turn on the water, the water comes out like it should and the pump turns on like it should, but the water is still just trickling out. Where could I have a suction problem at if I have tightened all of my fittings? Thank you for taking the time to help me get my issure resolved.
If you have plastic fittings, they can leak under suction but yet hold pressure just fine. Frustrating eh? As the water level drops in the well from heavy use, the pump needs to suck harder. That is when suction leaks often happen.
Did you find and clean the jet as well? It is the small hole in front of the venturi.
Yes, I think so anyway. I cleaned every hole and crevice I saw. I only have 2 plastic fittings, one connecting the foot valve to the pipe coming out of the well, and one on the top side, where the house lines hook up. Could it just be the pump is worn out? It works up untill the pressure gets up to 20 pounds or so, then it stops pulling water. I can sit in there and shake the pipe and get it to the shut-off pressure (40 psi) but own its own, it wont go higher than 20 before all the piping gets HOT and it just runs continuously.
Pumps don't build the pressure, the venturi does! You may have two problems, 1) a suction leak some where in the suction line and 2) something is plugging the nozzle in the jet assembly. Locate the jet assembly and clean out the 1/4 inch hole in the nozzle and you will have pressure again!
Porky Cutter, MGWC
(Master Ground Water Consultant)
You guys ROCK!! Thank you so much for the help. I took the pump back apart and puled the venturi tube out and cleaned it as well as the nozzel. After hooking the pump back up, I found a leak on the suction side, which I didnt notice before because of the lack of pressure from the stopped up venturi tube, fixed it, now I have a pump that works as it should, and more water pressure than ever before. Thank you so much for the advice!
Like Porky said "That's all folks".
Glad you got it sorted.

Nature's Inspiring Stories
Nature springs to life in Nature Conservancy magazine. Read
The waters of the Saco River will continue to lap up against silver maples each spring, providing habitat for songbirds, rare turtles and the people who canoe along rare floodplain forests in Western Maine, thanks to the conservation of 524 acres of land along the Saco River in Fryeburg, announced by The Nature Conservancy and the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust this week.
The silver maple floodplain forest along this stretch of the Saco River is one of the best examples of this rare habitat anywhere in the Northeast, according to Will Brune of The Nature Conservancy in Maine. In addition to harboring globally rare plants and animals, the forest captures much of the river's heavy spring flow, protecting towns downstream from flooding.
"Each spring, the Saco River floods its banks into the forest. Some years, it's even possible to paddle a canoe among stands of silver maple," Brune said. "For the sake of wildlife and people living downstream, it is essential that we continue to work with landowners to save these natural resources."
Throughout the region, floodplain forests were cleared and their rich soils converted to farmland or filled in and developed, making the Upper Saco River one of the last remaining examples of this once-common habitat type. This stretch of the Saco River is also a significant recreational resource which is enjoyed by hundreds of paddlers every year
Through a partnership between a private landowner, The Nature Conservancy, Upper Saco Valley Land Trust and the State of Maine, the 524 acres will remain in private ownership, subject to a conservation easement, which permits some sustainable forestry but protects this important habitat from development.
Funding for this project was provided by The Nature Conservancy and the Landowner Incentive Program (LIP), a competitive grant program managed by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. The program supports collaborative efforts to partner with private landowners to cultivate and fund conservation opportunities for critical habitats in the state. Since its inception in 2004, Maine has received more than $3 million in LIP funds to protect habitat. While federal support for this program has been eliminated, Maine has continued to distribute existing funds.
"The project is a great example of the importance of conservation by private landowners," Brune said, citing a recent Nature Conservancy study which found that private land conservation is responsible for the protection of millions of acres of protected habitat in the Northeastern United States. "Collaborating with the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust and local landowners allowed us all to make a much bigger difference," Brune said.
"We are extremely grateful to all of our project partners − the landowners, The Nature Conservancy, and Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife − for their perseverance over the years to protect this spectacular piece of conservation land," said Tom Earle, President of the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust.

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! – I was on a quest to try all the Mexican restaurants in Las Vegas but when I got to Frank & Fina's, my quest came to a screaching halt. The margaritas are excellent and the fajitas are delicious. Sometimes when they are packed, the service can be slow but you don't notice while you're sipping your margarita and munching on the chips and salsa. I take everyone that comes to visit and no complaints! Try it - you'll love it too.
Fab!! – This is a great place for a late lunch, so you can actually get a table. The food is great, really authentic Mexican fare. And, terrific vegetarian selections. You can founder on chips, salsa and cold Coronas while waiting for a yummy meal. Service is a little spotty -- it seems like the guys are a lot more attentive than the ladies, here. It's a cute place, too -- very cozy. It's a shame to miss Frank & Fina's -- if you're a fan of Mexican food, you'll be more than satisfied. If you're not a fan, you will be.
Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had... – I love Frank and Fina's. They have lots of really good traditional Mexican dishes and can do almost anything vegetarian. Really cool atmosphere, lots of character and rough around the edges. A nice place for a leisurely lunch. They even have an outdoor area. Frank is there on most days to wait on you himself. I like small local places and this place is one of the best.
Editorial Review by Corliss Lee – A full-service family owned and operated Mexican restaurant with options of dine in, takeout and catering.
The best margaritas! – A friend recommended Frank & Fina's a while back, and I finally went there for dinner. I have been trying to find a "true" and "authentic" mexican restaurant forever now. Well, this is my new favorite restaurant. Frank & Fina's has a wide assortment of mexican dishes, and the margaritas are out of this world. A "must" if you want great food and great prices!

Adaptive Sailing at Courageous
These programs have produced regional, national and even world champions! At Courageous, members of these populations (mostly youth and young adults) gain a variety of physical, social, and psychological benefits, many of which are unique to the experience of sailing itself. While sailing in majestic Boston Harbor, participants build skills in teamwork, physical coordination, self-reliance, abstract thought, and leadership as well as technical knowledge of a dynamic sport.
Charlestown Adaptive Sailing Day - Sunday September 15th

Anybody who would like to go sailing and requires a little extra help is invited to come out for a free one-hour sail with an instructor from Courageous or Piers Park. Families are welcome, and lunch and bottled water are provided. Registration forms must be received by
Monday, Sept. 8
Download your registration form here.
Courageous Sailing serves over 1,000 children each year. Each child has their own unique story and their own personal reasons for finding a passion in sailing. At our Adaptive Sailing Days, it's easy to see first-hand the wonders that sailing can bring to children with special needs.
In partnership with the Charlestown Waterfront Coalition, Courageous Sailing ran the second Charlestown Adaptive Sailing day off of the Shipyard Park water taxi dock in the Navy Yard. Children and families frequently come from Special Townies, a grassroots organization run entirely by volunteers serving children with autism or special needs, and their families, in Charlestown. For some, it's a calming experience. For others, it's electrifying as they eagerly hopped on board. For all, it can be a welcome escape from the day to day.
These outings have been an overwhelming success. As one mother noted, her son would happily sail all day if given the chance. Another mother noted that being on the water was just about heaven. However, perhaps the entire day could be summed up by one little boy's actions after getting off the boat. As his parents unclipped his life jacket, he burst into tears as he realized there would be no more sailing for him today. With summer upon us, Courageous Sailing and Special Townies are determined to give these children and their families many more opportunities to sail every summer.

SailBlind Program
SailBlind provides blind and visually impaired persons with an opportunity to learn the art and science of sailing. Blind adults and children can learn to sail through the adaptive methods developed by the Carroll Center SailBlind Program and through the abilities of sighted sailors who volunteer as sailing guides. No sailing experience is necessary for blind sailors to participate, while sighted guides must meet specific criteria.
Sailing sessions are conducted weekly for both recreation and racing sailors out of the facilities of the Courageous Sailing Center, Charlestown, sailing in Boston Harbor. Recreation Sailing Meets every Saturday; Competitive Sailing meets every Wednesday evening, throughout the summer.
Safety is of paramount concern in sailing and all participants- blind and sighted- must wear lifejackets while in the boat and on the dock.

Special Olympics of Massachusetts (SOMA) Sailing Program
The sailing teams of Special Olympics Massachusetts (SOMA) have been appreciative guests of Courageous Sailing Center since the early 1990s. SOMA begins weekly practices shortly after Courageous opens for the season in May, using the sailing center's fleet of 25 Rhodes 19s keelboats.
By late June each year, some fifteen or more teams from various parts of the state have honed their sailing and racing skills to compete in the Special Olympics Massachusetts Summer Games. Members of the Courageous staff volunteer to help run the regatta at the MIT Sailing Pavilion on the Charles River in Cambridge. Special Olympics sailors continue to practice at Courageous through September in preparation for the Rhode Island Special Olympics Invitational Regatta held at the Naval War College in Newport in the Navy's sixteen Rhodes 19s. Teams from Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, and Virginia—and in some years New Hampshire and Maine—are represented. Massachusetts sailors have won the gold in the top division most years, and have enjoyed the welcoming hospitality of Special Olympics of Rhode Island and inner/dance parties following racing. Sailing is a "Unified Sport" in Special Olympics, meaning there are generally two athletes with intellectual disabilities as well as two coaches or "Unified" partners in each crew.
The Special Olympics sailors progress from level 1, where a partner skippers the boat over half the time and athletes work the sails, to level 2, where an athlete skippers over half the time. In level 3, there are three athletes who race the boat and one Unified partner who can only advise on tactics and strategy. If the partner touches a line or the tiller, the level 3 boat is disqualified! The goal is for the athletes to progress from crew to skipper, and from level 1 to level 3. We have seen the wonderful progression our athletes have made through sailing at Courageous, and the joy and selfconfidence they've gained from their new skills (not to mention the fun social aspects of SOMA sailing they enjoy).
With the support of Courageous Sailing Center, many Special Olympics Massachusetts athletes have progressed from their first sail ever to being competent and confident crew members and competitive skippers.

Chicago Public Schools wrap up classes this week, and that means some of the schools will only be open for a few more days before they are closed as part of the CPS 5-year reorganization plan.
It's a plan that continues to rile parents and teachers, who rolled out a new tactic in their protest Tuesday night.
The protest highlighted budget cuts that parents and teachers claim will pits the need for things like toilet paper against staffing.
"Imagine coming up to the front of your classroom to ask your teacher for toilet paper... No!" says Nettlehorst Elementary teacher Michelle Gunderson.
A parent with children at Lafayette Elementary says that school, for example, is facing a half-million dollar funding reduction that puts the cost of cleaning supplies into the principal's budget -- the same one that pays for teachers.
"So we got socked," says CPS parent Jennie Biggs. "Losing money and now we also, my principal also has to pick up supplies, so there's a real chance he's going to have to pick between teachers and toilet paper."
While protesters marched outside, CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett talked with the head of the Chicago Tribune's Editorial Board at a $20-a-head event.
She tackled a wide range of issues surrounding her 5 year schools reorganization plan and reemphasized her promise of no more school closings during this time. She also cautioned against those who were betting against her being around to see the results.
"I plan to be here, I plan to see my plan through," CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett said. "I've never not lived through a commitment and a contract and I plan to be here."
Earlier, Chicago Teacher's Union President Karen Lewis, speaking at the City Club, raised eyebrows once again regarding the school closings.
"When will we address the fact that rich, white people, think they know what's in the best interest of children of African Americans and Latinos-no matter what the parent's income or education level," Karen Lewis said.
Lewis did not mention anyone by name in her comments, but clearly she was
taking a shot at the educational advisors that Mayor Rahm Emanuel has
course, the iron of what she said is that the woman in charge of the schools,
Barbara Byrd-Bennett, is African American. She did not address what Lewis said,
but did describe their relationship as cordial, saying they meet, talk and text

Bonus note: these are my wedding colors, super excited!"
"We are having a Chicago Bears (navy blue and orange) theme wedding and this was perfect! It had the colors of our favorite team with feminine details that I wanted!"

GreatSchools Rating
Miraloma is such a wonderful community of student, faculty, staff, and parents. You really can feel the positive energy even as you just walk the halls, and it comes from a lot of people putting in a lot of hard work to make it that way. Miraloma really is one of the gems in SFUSD.
I would have to say this is a great school, not only do they do focus on getting the children at the expected level but also get them involved in a community that is almost impossible to not become part of. On the downside: if you are not to chatty, there are "groups" of parents that are their own "gang" and gather around after school, which reminds me of high school days when each person joined a group and often times did not accept newbies. Parents do get to gather/speak with who ever is accepted to their "groups." That would be the only thing I dislike about Miraloma, not feeling welcomed. Academic wise... I can't complain, they've made a huge progress on my child's learning. Also, another downside for those who rely on public transportation -- IT IS UP ON A HILL! So even driving there gets a bit crazy, I find myself getting to school at least 25 minutes early to avoid the traffic and find parking. On my daily routine I get to grab some coffee from Starbucks right on Portola before heading there to make my morning smoother! GOOD LUCK!
This school fosters community -- among the students and parents alike. While it's not a small school per se (360 kids), it feels like it. Class sizes are low, teachers take great care to get to know the students and families.
One kid just graduated (with a passion for Shakespeare because of a stellar 5th grade teacher) and one is still there (and developed a love of reading from a warm and motivational 2nd grade teacher). Miraloma is a happy, friendly and engaging place. The principal, teachers and support staff try to meet the needs of every student. The parent community is active at all levels. There are always parents around, helping in the class rooms or the snack program. The PTA is well organized and fund raising is effective, so the school offers ceramics, poetry, drama, dance, PE and reading intervention. The after school programs are wonderful. You can't go wrong sending your kids here.
My son attends Miraloma entering the 1rst grade. So far our experience has been great. Miraloma has a very strong community with parents that are very involved and create an environment for success. The teachers and faculty our great. The PTA raises a decent amount of money to fund extra programs including PE, arts, literacy and math experts and lower class room sizes.
Fantastic school! It is everything that an elementary school should be... art, music, poetry, dedicated teachers and principal, etc...
I intend to visit the school soon to inspect in order to compare and select the best school for my children.
The parent-teacher community is wonderful. The school itself is a bright, happy place - my spirits lift just walking in the doors. Everyone is always smiling. The principal is very accessible, he walks the halls and yards every day, and knows every child by name. It's a special place.
Miraloma has a supportive, inclusive environment. I have loved all my daughter's teachers, the principal is amazing, parents are welcomed and encouraged to volunteer in the classrooms or in many other capacities. I can't wait until my son starts.
Miraloma Elementary is an amazing school! Our oldest daughter is on her 3rd year and our youngest is about to enter kindergarten. The teachers, staff, and parents here at Miraloma help provide an eductional environment where our children learn to thrive intellectually and socially. I would recommend Miraloma to anyone!

CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. It keeps your airway open as you sleep by providing you with a steady stream of air. Most CPAP units are about the size of a small tissue box and weigh only two to three pounds making it easy to keep on your bedside night stand.
How do you use it?
To power the unit, you simply plug it into the wall. The box has a fan that pushes air through a tube. The tube is connected to a mask that you wear as you sleep. The mask allows the air to gently blow into the back of your throat. This keeps the airway open and prevents pauses in breathing as you sleep. The mask must fit and make a seal in order to keep your throat open and correct the apnea problem. A good mask seal will prevent air leaks and maintain the proper level of air pressure.
The amount of air pressure needed is different for each person. A
CPAP study
during an overnight sleep study will show your sleep doctor the level that is right for you.
CPAP units come with a variety of features. Most units now have a pressure "ramp" setting. This timed setting starts the machine at a very low level of air pressure. It slowly raises the pressure until it reaches the right level.
Humidifiers are a common accessory for CPAP units. They provide cool or heated moisture to the air coming from the CPAP unit. This can reduce side effects and make it easier for you to breathe through your mask. Some CPAP units now come with an "integrated" humidifier that is connected to the machine.
New technology is making it easier for you to receive the maximum benefit from your CPAP therapy. Many CPAP units are now able to track your hourly usage and produce detailed data for your doctor. Some machines can also keep track of mask leaks and snoring. Depending on your model, you may be able to download this information to a computer or store it on a data card. This information can help your doctor monitor your treatment progress without requiring you to make an office visit. Some units even allow your doctor to program your data card with changes to your air pressure level.
The types of CPAP that are available to you may vary. It can depend on your insurance coverage and also the region of the country where you live. Some people with sleep apnea have other medical conditions that make their breathing problems more complicated. They may have lung, heart or brain problems. These people may need to have oxygen added to the air in their CPAP systems.
There are three types of mask systems that are most common with CPAP. The first and most commonly used is a nasal mask; this mask covers only your nose for the large majority of people that breathe through their nose while sleeping. The second is a full face mask; this covers both your nose and your mouth. This mask works best for those who breathe primarily through their mouth at night. The third is nasal pillows; this system uses soft silicone tubes that fit directly into your nostrils. Nasal Pillows can help eliminate air leaks, and gives you a greater sense of freedom, although they cannot be used in most cases where the CPAP pressure is at a higher level. Your sleep technician will start with the mask they feel will best fit your needs and the frame of your face along the bridge of your nose. Most of the time the mask that is used during your CPAP study will be the mask you will use at home.
No matter what type of mask you use, it is most important that it fits you well. The mask must make a seal and must be comfortable for you. First your health care provider will work with you to select the right size for your mask. The mask should fit snugly enough to prevent leaks without causing discomfort. You may need to make small adjustments to the mask, tubing, straps and headgear until you get the right fit.
Who gets it?
CPAP is the most common and effective treatment for those with obstructive sleep apnea. It may also be used to help people who have other breathing problems when they sleep.
Are there side effects?
The most common problem with CPAP is when the mask does not fit well. If the mask is too big, the straps holding it to your face will need to be pulled too tight. This can cause skin irritation or sores as the straps rub against your face. A mask that is too small will not seal properly and air will leak out through the edges. This can cause air leaks that blow into your eyes. Your CPAP supplier can help you make sure that your mask is a good fit.
CPAP may cause some people to have more nasal congestion. This can often be relieved with a saline nasal spray, a decongestant or a heated humidifier.
Using CPAP may also make your throat dry or sore. A heated humidifier that fits your CPAP unit can ease this symptom. Adding a chin strap may also help. Some people with this problem may need to change to a full face mask. Other side effects from CPAP therapy are rare.

Anna was voted #16 in BuddyTV's TV's 100 Sexiest Women of 2009.
Anna enjoys horseback riding, surfing, swimming, and hiking.
Anna graduated from Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA) in 2001. She has a degree in Performing Arts (Acting).
Anna and her Fringe co-star Mark Valley were married in Christmas 2008. They had been secretly dating for several months.
Anna appeared on the cover of TV Guide the week of October 20 2008, alongside Fringe co-star Joshua Jackson.
Anna is 5'9" (1.75m) tall, she has blonde hair and green eyes.
Anna performed in amateur theater on Australia's Gold Coast before getting her formal acting training.
Anna has gotten weapons and fight training while working on Fringe. She is also using a voice coach to remove all traces of her Australian accent for her role on the show.
Anna loves to run.
Anna is of Estonian decent.
Since she was 8 years old Anna has been estranged from her father.
Anna divides her time between Manhattan, New York, where she stays in an apartment, and Brisbane, Australia, where her family resides.
Anna was listed among TV Guide's Fall TV's New Faces of 2008, named number one in iF Magazine's list of Ten Hottest Women from TV Shows premiering this fall for 2008 and listed number nine on Entertainment Weekly's 15 Stars to Watch This Fall list for 2008.
Aside from a contract as part of J.J. Abrams' series Fringe, FOX has offered Anna a two-picture deal.
After seeing the pilot episode of Fringe, New York Magazine described Anna Torv as having "Blanchettesque good looks" and as someone who "will be appearing in the fevered dreams of nerds all too soon". She has been touted as the next Cate Blanchett, who also hails from Melbourne, Australia.
Anna attended Benowa High School in Gold Coast, Australia.
Anna beat out over 300 other hopefuls from the US and 40 from Australia for the role of Olivia Dunham in the FOX series Fringe. It was WB Movieworld casting agent Tom McSweeney who helped find Torv. Even prior to seeing Anna read dialogue from Fringe, J.J. Abrams already knew she was the right girl for the role when he saw her audition tape for an Australian show. She did her show audition for the producers via a transpacific video conference.
Finding it difficult to find a job, Anna lived off her credit card while staying in London in 2006.
Anna shares her name with an aunt who was married to her billionaire uncle Rupert Murdoch.
Anna is the daughter of Hans and Susan Torv. Her father is the co-owner of Hot Tomato Broadcasting Company CEO, the radio station is based in Gold Coast, Australia. She has a brother named Dylan.
Anna has appeared in the following films and TV movies:
- White Collar Blue in 2002 as Neighbour
- The Book of Revelation in 2006 as Gertrude
- Frankenstein in 2007 as ITU Nurse
Anna did the motion capture for PlayStation 3 game Heavenly Sword where she plays Nariko in the game.
Anna played Anya in The Cherry Orchard for the Sydney Theatre Company, directed by Howard Davies in 2006.
Anna Torv: I'm a huge camper, and love hiking and mountain biking. Since my show is filmed in New York City, I've been able to go to the Hudson Valley, in upstate New York, on weekends. Recently, friends and I went to Mohonk Mountain House [in New Paltz] and walked around the lake and swam. Two days of that and you feel great. I wear Blundstones for hiking. They're like a work boot with a bit of grip, so you can wear them all day. They're quite groovy."
Anna Torv: (about her character on Fringe) She's ridiculously focused and ridiculously determined. She's living in a man's world, and it's quite fun to not be constantly playing the love interest. That's what you get a lot of the time; you're playing these flirtatious scenes or you're going on dates or you're dressed up. I love that she's practical. She wears suits, and she doesn't wear lipstick; she just does her job.
Anna Torv: They freaked out when I had to do some of the driving though, because I'm from Australia and we drive on the other side of the street. Josh [Joshua Jackson] is a little bit scared as I'm looking over the wrong shoulder reversing back.
Anna Torv: (on suppressing her Australian accent and sounding American) You get into a groove and it becomes less cumbersome. Every now and then you slip up. You always lose it when you have to scream loudly or get emotional.
Anna Torv: (about the craziest thing she has done for the show Fringe) I don't know what I can say. I mean, seriously-- ... this sounds so boring--but, legitimately, standing outside of a hospital in minus 45 degrees with the wind blowing in my face, with no hat on, no gloves on, nothing on my face. That was insane. And the scene got cut from the pilot anyway.
Anna Torv: (on her series Fringe) That's the thing I love about this series, the potential to go in any direction. I keep thinking 'Ooh I hope it goes in this direction!' and then when I get a script it's so much better than I could have imagined.
Anna Torv: (on the show Fringe) What I love about the show is [the question of] the conspiracy, the retention of knowledge. Who really has that, and who has the power? If they're telling us they're able to clone a sheep, if that's OK for us to know, you go, 'Come on, what else are they doing?'
Anna Torv: ('this' referring to Fringe) As far as the paranormal, I'm a bit of a squib myself. All the gross stuff, I didn't have any interest in prior to this.
Anna Torv: I've found in my life that the parts that you're right for are the parts that you get. It's really usually quite easy because you're kind of right.
Anna Torv: I actually really love props, guns, anything that's active and moving because it gets you totally out of your own head and it gives you some kind of focus. You're kind of more engaged because there's more truth to what you're doing because you're actually holding it so I love all of that stuff. I love to be physically engaged.
Anna Torv: (on the show Mistresses) I'm relieved that in this show particularly there wasn't really a big deal made out of (being a lesbian). You have gay characters and it's usually, 'Ooh, she's gay and it's this and it's that', but they're having an affair like all the other characters in the show and it reads like a normal relationship - which is what it is.
Anna Torv: (on being associated with her billionaire uncle Rupert Murdoch) I hate that that even comes up. I've been estranged from my father since I was eight.
Anna Torv: (comparing herself to her character in The Secret Life of Us) I was cynical about life and particularly about love when I was younger, just like Nikki. Since then I have fallen in love but at the moment, Nikki is too afraid.
Anna Torv: (about her character Nikki in The Secret Life of Us) Nikki is harsh. I can understand why though and I hope the audience will also learn to understand in time.

The Washington Post
NEW YORK —Kiefer Sutherland is back as Jack Bauer, Seth MacFarlane has his first live-action TV comedy, and Andy Samberg and Greg Kinnear are joining the lineup as Fox looks to dig its way out of this season's 20 percent ratings decline.
Actor Kiefer Sutherland will return in a limited-edition "24" next year. The 12 episodes will be chronological but will skip some hours, Kevin Reilly, Fox Entertainment chairman, said Monday.
2007 Associated Press File Photo
In what Fox suits claim is the network's largest new programming investment ever, the network has picked up 11 new shows, as well as two "event series" — the new Hollywood-speak for "miniseries."
Those event series are Sutherland's return in a shortened "24," which will probably debut in the May 2014 sweeps and run into the summer; and M. Night Shyamalan's latest, "Wayward Pines."
The flailing singing competitions "The X Factor" and "American Idol" will again get three-hour chunks of the network's 15-hour prime time — "X" in the fall, "Idol" in the spring.
Fox Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly confirmed that the "Idol" panel will be shrunk to three judges; he declined to discuss whether Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban are returning, other than to say they would be welcome to. Original judge Randy Jackson has already said he's out, and Carey's husband, Nick Cannon, has given interviews that seem to suggest his wife is thinking about exiting, too.
About the return of "24"(officially titled "24: Live Another Day"): On a conference call with reporters Monday morning, Reilly confessed that when the show produced 24 episodes — each representing one hour in a really bad day for Jack Bauer — the writers actually had only about 12 good hours in which big events occurred, and that viewers sat through 12 more hours of "connective tissue." Busting the show down to a 12-episode cycle will be "liberating for us," he said, so that "24" can skip the boring hours.
Fox has aggressively programmed its summers with reality TV for many seasons, so this upcoming "24: Live Another Day" launch marks a major investment in programming scripted fare year-round — a strategy that the network has been paying lip service to for years.
Speaking of scripted fare, "Bones" will be back to kick things off on Monday nights. That show will be followed by the new "Sleepy Hollow" (which Reilly called a "wildly inventive show"), in which the coward made famous by Washington Irving two centuries ago returns — only re-envisioned by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, of "Star Trek," "Transformers," and "Fringe" fame. Ichabod is now a hero, resurrected 2 1/2 centuries later to find the world on the brink of destruction.
In the late fall (Fox-speak for "post-baseball"), "Almost Human" will take the "Bones" time slot, and "Bones" will move to Friday nights at 8. After that swap happens, the serial-killer drama "The Following" will return "midseason" (early next calendar year) at 9, replacing "Sleepy Hollow."
Still with me?
"Almost Human," from J.J. Abrams and J.H. Wyman ("Fringe"), is set 35 years in the future and follows a part-machine cop teamed with a part-human robot — the explanation of which (in the first episode, no doubt) you will not want to miss.
Fox will take another whack at creating a four-comedy block on Tuesdays. In the fall, that kicks off with MacFarlane's first live-action, multi-camera comedy, "Dads," and a single-cam comedy called "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," starring Samberg and Andre Braugher as a hotshot detective and his superior, respectively.
"Dads" stars Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi as successful gaming entrepreneurs whose pain-in-the-neck dads, Martin Mull and Peter Riegert, move in.

Australian scientists at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research say they have found a way to use the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, to prevent AIDS, describing the technique as "fighting fire with fire."Senior researcher David Harrich has designed a way to modify a protein in HIV to alter the virus so that it provides long-lasting, and possibly permanent, protection against AIDS, the disease that HIV causes. In his experiments, Harrich altered a protein that is a critical component of all living cells and includes many substances, among them - antibodies and hormones - which would usually help the virus to grow. Instead, the modified protein helps to prevent the virus from replicating or spreading.Patients would still be infected with HIV, said Harrich, but it would not develop into AIDS."This therapy is potentially a cure for AIDS. So it's not a cure for HIV infection, but it potentially could end the disease. [That's] because the immune system that protects you from opportunistic infections that normally is the cause of AIDS is actually the opportunistic infection, not the HIV, because your immune system becomes run down," explained Harrich. "So this protein present in immune cells would help to maintain a healthy immune system so that patients would be able to handle normal infections."The study is published in the journal Human Gene Therapy.Harrich's team conducted the experiments in a laboratory. Thorough testing on animals is needed before any human trials can begin. They are scheduled to start later this year.In Australia, more than 30,000 people have been diagnosed with HIV. Without treatment they will develop AIDS. According to the World Health Organization, 2.5 million people were newly infected with HIV in 2011. It is estimated that 1.7 million people died that year from the virus. Harrich said he believes his new therapy could make a difference to millions of people."I think what people are looking for is basically a means to go on and live happy and productive lives with as little intrusion as possible." he said. "And so, you know, the only way you can do that is one, you either have to eliminate the virus infection, or alternatively, you have to eliminate the disease process. And that's what this could do, potentially for a very long time."Using a therapy based on a single protein could end multiple drug regimes for HIV patients, meaning a better quality of life and lower costs.However, scientists say that creating a drug that turns HIV against itself would be challenging and Australian researchers conceded that there were still "many hurdles to clear."

The best of the best.. – I have never had such a great experience when I came to this salon. Every stylist has their own individual room which made me feel so comfortable because its private. Being able to talk to my stylist one on one without the entire Salon listening to my conversation is a plus. Each stylist is great! They are always busy but very respectful and HAPPY. No Boug'e stylist @ this Salon. Everytime I go I experience something different. Its like home away from home. Check out this salon just once. No matter which stylist you go to you'll leave happy!!
Go see Jenn Strand! – I love the Verve Lounge, especially stylist Jenn Strand. Finally a hair designer in LA that is down to earth and actually listens to what you want. Jenn takes into consideration my lifestyle, my current hair issues and my hope for an outcome and comes up with great solutions each time. I also send my husband to Jenn and she has worked wonders! We can't live without her!
I also really appreciate Jenn's care for the individual client. I never feel like a number or rushed through, and she has never given a hard sell for product (she will make helpful suggestions, but I've never felt pressured to purchase product like I have at basically every other salon I've been to in LA).
The Verve has a very relaxed and friendly vibe. Everyone there is super nice. It is hip without being snobby and I've always felt comfortable and welcomed there. Go see Jenn Strand - it is definitely worth a try!
Dwayne is the BEST! – Dwayne (the owner of the salon) is by far the best colorist I have been to..and I've been everywhere! He's an artist! The salon is comfortabe and private and clean. I would never go anywhere else
Finally-great hair in the right atmosphere!!! the best – i have been going to verve lounge for about 2 years-every time i go (about every 5 weeks) i leave happy relaxed and well cared for-the whole atmosphere is about relaxing and having dwayne's full attention. He is amazing!!! i drive from malibu but it is well worth the extra time
Great Stylist No Fuss – Dwayne Ross is an expert without all of the fuss of a Beverly Hills stylist. The salon has a comfortable atmosphere, and Dwayne and Tracy couldn't be kinder. If you hate the stress of most high profile salons, and just want to go somewhere to relax and leave looking like a million bucks, go to Verve!
Julius Cheese for ALL your hair style needs! – I have had the pleasure of having Julius Cheese work on my hair for the last few years. I am not rich or famous, but I have had extensions done by a crackhead in Albuquerque, when I could not get to La to have it done. BIG MISTAKE...
Julius takes his time, and you never feel left out or neglected or rushed. My extensions stayed in for 5 months. My hair looked SO natural and like it belonged on my head! I highly recommend this man for any of your hair style needs. I am grateful to have met him, and would travel to wherever he was just to have HIM...work on my hair...Trust, integrity and genuinely all around good guy...
Love you Julius...see you soon...
Deirdre, Montreal Canada
Fantastic Salon in Beverly Hills, for women and hair types. – This is a great find in Beverly Hills. Very tastefully designed space: it's an art gallery as well as hair salon. Julius is great. He does a professional job, he's good with color and relaxers, is very well priced, not to mention he's a riot. You'll have a blast with him. Plus, the girl who manages it makes gorgeous modern jewelry.
Julius and Marisa are the best – I've been going to Julius and Marisa for awhile. I will not go to anyone else, and would follow these two wherever they go. He knows what to do with women's hair; he and Marisa work as a team to make me look good. Verve Salon is this little cottage type place with parking available in the back, every stylist has his/her own space though, so the feeling is very cozy. Julius and Marisa treat you like a queen with water, wine, and great treats.
Marisa gives BEST HAIRCUT in QUIET, Stylish setting – I would follow this woman ANYWHERE for her FABULOUS cuts & color! ThankGod- she has settled in this warm, inviting VERVE LOUNGE-2 blocks West of ROBERTSON. She gives great ATTENTION & FOCUSES on YOU, the client- rather than talking on the phone all the time -like many Stylists . Not only is she TALENTED and CREATIVE with ALL HAIR, but she also is BRIGHT & AMUSING. I always feel as if I've had a GOOD TIME when I leave the SALON. If she is booked- feel free to trust your look to JULIUS- the One & ONLY.... His pampering & unique designs will leave you wanting MORE VERVE!!!
Marisa Meola at the Verve Lounge is FABULOUS! She is a talented stylist, down to earth, and very funny!! – Marisa is the best color and cut in Beverly Hills! For years I wore the same style, but after a little convincing, Marisa gave me a very sassy modern cut that makes me look years younger. I used to spend way too long in the morning blowdrying and flat ironing, but now my hair requires little effort and looks fabulous all the time! Besides being the best stylist, she is so personable and funny. I used to go to the salon just to get my hair done, but with her It's a total experience! I love how the room is private yet inviting and comfortable. Plus Verve has free meters on Saturday!!! What more could you ask for!!!

Halftime: Chiefs 14, Raiders 0
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, October 23rd, 2011 at 2:32 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Chiefs held on to their 14-0 lead as Kyle Boller threw his third interception at the Oakland 12-yard line on a telegraphed pass intended for Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Moments earlier, Boller had hit Heyward-Bey for a 21-yard gain and scrambled 19 yards to the Chiefs 36 as the Raiders threatened for the first time since Michael Bush got stuffed on a fourth-and-1 play off a direct snap.
The Raiders had five penalties and four three-and-out possessions to go with three interceptions by Boller.
Darren McFadden missed much of the first half with an undiscclosed injury.
The half ended with safety Chinedum Ndukwe interception a desperation pass at the 1-yard line and the Raiders (or Boller) being booed off the field.

3: Finding an Ideal Summer Internship
Internship recruitment begins early. As soon as you arrive on campus in September, even August, you will begin the process of finding a summer internship. You will want to find an internship that matches your interests, opens doors, or provides a taste of a corporate culture that you are interested in experiencing or joining. The internship may or may not relate precisely to your future work, but will provide you with exposure to a culture, a style, and a system. For many, summer internships turn into full time positions after the first year, so you will want to do your homework.
Most first-year business school students find an internship, though the process is still quite competitive. For some people, the difficulty of the process comes not in finding one, but in finding the right one for them. For some, they are looking for industry experience. For others, who are seeking to reenter an industry in which they already have experience, they may be particularly interested in targeting a particular company. For others with less experience, they may want to learn about several industries before selecting a direction. So devote adequate time to:
o Attending information sessions or cocktail parties held by recruiters. These are great opportunities to establish informal contacts.
o Network with other contacts (outside of business school). These sometimes work out well for first-year students. So remember that business school is not the only way by which to find a position.
o Learn about industries. Such research will assist you in gauging your own interest as well as allow you to come across as possessing genuine and informed knowledge when you do approach recruiters.
o Learn about individual companies. Companies want to know that you are interested in and knowledgeable about their work. Do your homework and learn potentially through informal on campus events as much as you can.
o Prepare for case interviews and general interview sessions. Be able to explain yourself and why you are interested in a field, industry, and company, in addition to showing a developing understanding of the work of the company. Also be practiced at answering the problem-solving questions that you may be asked to solve as a portion of the interview process.
o Seek guidance during the process from your school's career staff.
Following the above plan will help you to adjust and excel in your first-year. You won't get too bogged down worrying about an internship in May, nor will you be consulting math tutors throughout the year for assistance on problem sets, and you'll be engaged in courses and activities that interest you and are a good use of your time. But also remember:
Don't finish work on Friday and show up at business school orientation on Monday. A summer break to settle in, to relax and rest, or even lay on the beach makes a difference in preparedness for your first-year of business school too!

In an ironic twist of fate, a couple researchers in California found a possible cure for aggressive cancers and it's a non-toxic chemical found only in cannabis (aka marijuana, mary jane, pot).
The scientists at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco found that a compound derived from marijuana could stop metastasis in many kinds of aggressive cancer.
Molecular biologist Pierre Desprez spent decades studying ID-1, the gene that causes cancer to spread. Fellow researcher, Sean McAllister, was studying Cannabidiol, or CBD, a non-toxic chemical compound found in cannabis.
Together, they discovered that combining the gene with the compound actually "turns off" the ID-1 gene. Yep, it forced the cancerous cells to stop spreading and return to normal. They found it works in many types of aggressive cancers, including brain, prostate and others.
So what does this mean for medicinal marijuana? It won't be as simple as lighting up a doobie! Apparently smoking it could never produce enough CBD to be effective, so they are looking to test injections and pills. Their theory's already been tested in labs and on animals. They are awaiting the green light to do trials on humans.

COVINGTON -- Covington Police reported a rash of entering autos and burglaries in the Covington Place subdivision Tuesday night and during the day Wednesday.
"There's been a definite spike in criminal activity in that area," said CPD Public Information Officer Capt. Ken Malcom Thursday morning. "It started out with entering autos and there were several burglaries yesterday. At this point we can't say the burglaries and entering autos are connected, but it's something we're looking into, and the odds are, there is a connection."
Reports indicated that in several instances burglaries were foiled when burglar alarms sounded, apparently scaring away would-be intruders.
In the case of entering autos, in one instance more than $1,000 worth of electronics and a pistol were taken, but in most other cases only small amounts of change were found to be missing.
Malcom said he would remind the public that they should secure their valuables and vehicles at night because usually in the case of entering autos, it is a crime of opportunity.
"They just go from house to house checking for unlocked cars," he said.
The CPD is asking anyone who may have information or who saw anything related to these incidents to call them at 770-786-7605; go to their website at www.covingtonpolice.com; contact them through email, Facebook or Twitter; or use the mobile to mobile app called tipsubmit.

What makes you think it is lead?
I have manage to get the tub removed.
The lead pipe to the P-trap is cracked.
I am unfamiliar with this.
Any suggestions on how to remove the lead pipe would be greatly appreciated.
How you remove it would depend on how it is connected to the "P" trap, but most likely the connector unscrews.

If you have connected your monitor to the video card on your computer using a standard 15-pin D-sub cable, you must use the analog input mode. Your monitor will not work if you select digital mode. If you have connected your monitor to the video card on your computer using a DVI cable, you must use digital input mode. Your monitor will not work if you select analog mode.
Note: Some video cards offer both D-sub and DVI jacks. If yours does, depending on you monitor, you can use one or the other or both. If you connect both, you can switch from one to the other. See below for instructions.
In most cases, the monitor will automatically select the correct input mode. If it does not, you can select the correct input mode on most digital/analog Samsung LCD monitors by pressing and holding the Exit button on the monitor for about five seconds while the on screen display (OSD) menu is off. Pressing the Exit button alternately selects analog and digital. The Exit button is usually the second button from the bottom if the control buttons are arranged vertically or the second from the left if the buttons are arranged horizontally.
On some of the newer and larger Samsung LCD monitors, you press the Source button to select the display source. As you press the Source button successively, you toggle through all the available sources: PC Analog, PC Digital, Video, S-Video, etc.
